Even right-wingers who know that "global warming" is a crock do not seem to grasp what the tree-huggers are demanding. Liberals want mass starvation and human devastation.

Forget the lunacy of people claiming to tell us the precise temperature of planet Earth in 1918 based on tree rings. Or the fact that in the '70s liberals were issuing similarly dire warnings about "global cooling."

Simply consider what noted climatologists Al Gore and Melissa Etheridge are demanding that we do to combat their nutty conjectures about "global warming." They want us to starve the productive sector of fossil fuel and allow the world's factories to grind to a halt. This means an end to material growth and a cataclysmic reduction in wealth.

There are more reputable scientists defending astrology than defending "global warming," but liberals simply announce that the debate has been resolved in their favor and demand that we shut down all production.

They think they can live in a world of only Malibu and East Hampton  with no Trentons or Detroits. It does not occur to them that someone has to manufacture the tiles and steel and glass and solar panels that go into those "eco-friendly" mansions, and someone has to truck it all to their beachfront properties, and someone else has to transport all the workers there to build it. (And then someone has to drive the fleets of trucks delivering the pachysandra and bottled water every day.)

Liberals are already comfortably ensconced in their beachfront estates, which they expect to be unaffected by their negative growth prescriptions for the rest of us.

There was more energy consumed in the manufacture, construction and maintenance of Leonardo DiCaprio's Malibu home than is needed to light the entire city of Albuquerque, where there are surely several men who can actually act. But he has solar panels to warm his house six degrees on chilly Malibu nights.

Liberals haven't the foggiest idea how the industrial world works. They act as if America could reduce its vast energy consumption by using fluorescent bulbs and driving hybrid cars rather than SUVs. They have no idea how light miraculously appears when they flick a switch or what allows them to go to the bathroom indoors in winter  luxuries Americans are not likely to abandon because Leo DiCaprio had solar panels trucked into his Malibu estate.

Because of the industrialization of agriculture  using massive amounts of fossil fuel  only 2 percent of Americans work in farming. And yet they produce enough food to feed all 300 million Americans, with plenty left over for export. When are liberals going to break the news to their friends in Darfur that they all have to starve to death to save the planet?

"Global warming" is the left's pagan rage against mankind. If we can't produce industrial waste, then we can't produce. Some of us  not the ones with mansions in Malibu and Nashville is my guess  are going to have to die. To say we need to reduce our energy consumption is like saying we need to reduce our oxygen consumption.

But global warming is the most insane, psychotic idea liberals have ever concocted to kill off "useless eaters." If we have to live in a pure "natural" environment like the Indians, then our entire transcontinental nation can only support about 1 million human beings. Sorry, fellas  299 million of you are going to have to go.

Proving that the "global warming" campaign is nothing but hatred of humanity, these are the exact same people who destroyed the nuclear power industry in this country 30 years ago.

If we accept for purposes of argument their claim that the only way the human race can survive is with clean energy that doesn't emit carbon dioxide, environmentalists waited until they had safely destroyed the nuclear power industry to tell us that. This proves they never intended for us to survive.

"Global warming" is the liberals' stalking horse for their ultimate fantasy: The whole U.S. will look like Amagansett, with no one living in it except their even-tempered maids (for "diversity"), themselves and their coterie (all, presumably, living in solar-heated mansions, except the maids who will do without electricity altogether). The entire fuel-guzzling, tacky, beer-drinking, NASCAR-watching middle class with their over-large families will simply have to die.

It seems not to have occurred to the jet set that when California is as poor as Mexico, they might have trouble finding a maid. Without trucking, packaging, manufacturing, shipping and refrigeration in their Bel-Air fantasy world, they'll be chasing the rear end of an animal every time their stomachs growl and killing small animals for pelts to keep their genitals warm.

The liberal elites are misanthropes - they hate mankind. Of course they think of themselves first. As Ann Coulter wrote today, in their view the middle class can just die. And they the true believers, will inherit the earth.

In my haste to get first bragging rights, I overlooked the word "eat" - so liberals want the rest of us to subsist on string beans and water. Of course they can continue to live comfortably in their mansions. "Global Warming" is an issue for them because they fear the peasants might achieve an even greater standard of living and comfort. As elitists, they find that intolerable. So "let them eat tofu!" has a certain ring of truth to it.

"Ladies and Gentleman, I Al Gore must show you some startling evidence of global warming! This photo below is the White House a few years ago in December of 2003...

"LOOK AT THE WHITE HOUSE FROM LAST JUNE! WHERE HAS ALL THE SNOW GONE???"

"IT`S GLOBAL WARMING! I TELL YOU I TELL YOU! IT`S GLOBAL WARMING!!"

"When the sun shines on the earth at an angle, we have what we call 'winter'. When the sun shines directly on the earth, we have what we call 'summer'. This is direct evidence on how 'global warming' occurs. My proposal is we send 42 nuclear bombs towards the sun, and if placed right and detonated at the precise moment, we can shift the sun back away from the earth so as to reduce this global warming. Discuss."

This is why I call the Left the Culture of Death. The members of this cult are Zombies from the Dawn of the Dead whose "bite" turns the sane into psychotic maniacs. The viral replication of this culture is reaching toxic development. They have ruined everything they have touched. Our institutions have been trashed, the social order is undermined by their relativistic morality, and they live in a fantasy world that has total contempt for reality. When they make policy, it is with the most contempt for their fellow man who they see as peons for their haut monde.

It's been scientificaly and historicaly proven that planet earth has periods of global warmings and coolings every thousand years. The human involvement has nothing to do with it. The concept that people are responcible for global warming is nothing but a lie, promoted by the leftwing liberals to achieve only one thing: To Subvert National Economy, so there gonna be more unnemployment, more reliance on goverment handouts, and finaly, more votes for the liberal democrats. Because the left knows how to play on the feelings of needy people.

Rachel Carson. Heavy sigh. She was from Pittsburgh, and when I was in HS one of my teachers (older, former nun, turned Feminista) KNEW her (wow!!!). It was the early 80s and we had to read Silent Spring. Discuss Silent Spring. Do posters about Silent Spring, etc. Like mosquitos absent DDT, Silent Spring was everywhere in my HS. Later on, as an 'honor' for a hometown girl, one of the bridges in Pgh was renamed for Carson...great read from Ann.

We should facilitate, instead of foolishly and vainly endeavouring to impede, the operations of nature in producing . . . mortality; . . . Instead of recommending cleanliness to the poor, we should encourage contrary habits. In our towns we should make the streets narrower, crowd more people into the houses, and court the return of the plague. In the country, we should build our villages near stagnant pools, and particularly encourage settlements in all marshy and unwholesome situations." -- Thomas Malthus, 1826

"I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing. There are others. . . . War . . . has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could be spread throughout the world once in every generation survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full." -- Bertrand Russell, 1953

Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society, Simon and Schuster, New York, 1953, p. 103.

"It's terrible to have to say this. World population must be stabilized and to do that we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. This is so horrible to contemplate that we shouldn't even say it. But the general situation in which we are involved is lamentable." -- Jacques Cousteau, November 1991

"Population pressures on our planet are real and getting worse every day. Whether it is traffic congestion, urban sprawl, rain forest depletion, overfishing, global warming, pollution, famine, war, or terrorism - the problems are made worse, and more difficult to solve, by overpopulation. . . . We're heading on a collision course toward a population crisis that could deepen this nightmare - not only in the developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, but right here in the United States." -- Zero Population Control, March 2005
